Being brave doesn't mean never feeling scared. Saujani's insight teaches us that bravery isn't about being fearless; it's about having the courage to face our fears and uncertainties head-on, especially when we believe in something deeply. Her words encourage us to acknowledge our fears but not let them hold us back from pursuing what's important to us. As we encounter challenges in life and work, let's remember that true bravery lies in our ability to push past our fears and pursue our passions, even when it's hard.
